Aluminum Christmas Trees

How do you feel about aluminum Christmas trees?

I hated them when I was a kid.

I was totally influenced by Charlie Brown and Linus going shopping amidst the purple and pink aluminum trees 

and coming home with a small shriveled real tree.

A tree that with a little love became THE perfect tree.

I wanted nothing to do with any color of tree but green when I was a child.

But now...I really enjoy seeing many variations of the old aluminum tree.

I remember our neighbors to the south of us had a silver aluminum tree with 

the color wheel and I just thought it was terrible shining in their window.

But...now I think all of these are pretty fantastic.

This one seems to make Santa happy.

Yes, to this pink one in a white vase.

Love those red deer with this tree.

A lovely aqua number.

Another pretty turquoise one.

Modern versions of aluminum trees have come a long way.

Do you like aluminum or tinsel trees as good as green ones?

I think they both say Christmas to me.
